Default XKR track days at Sebring International Raceway

Here's a couple of videos from my time with the XKR at Sebring, apologies for the poor quality. If you cannot get them to play, let me know.

Looks like fun, and your car sounds great. It's been far too long since I've been at the track, just too busy, but I have to get back there soon.

I downloaded them and converted to play. I don't know much about Sebring, except the track days are usually club events? Can you give more details Jeremy? Type of track, top speeds (yours), how many in the race, how'd you place etc?

What exhaust mod do you have? I saw the x-pipe and cats, but your car sounds too awesome for that to be the only thing you've done. I'm thinking about getting Spires stage 3.

No it is pretty basic, 200 cell cats, X-pipe and larger exhaust tips. I do have custom intakes which help make that supercharger scream. Of course taking the front straight at 120 MPH in 3rd helps a little too.

Used to get a lot of overrun on the factory ECU map which was a lot of fun but I am several tunes in and the pops have subsided.

The exhaust even for around town or cold start sounds great as is, but working on a new design for the back box to see what notes I can tune.

Hi Sean

Its a 3.7 mile, 17 turn course with mixed surfaces. There were about 50 or so other cars and it was a non-competitive format. I only did about 30 laps in under 2 hours. Top speed on the back straight was only about 130.

Thanks. Car really sounds great. How'd you do the custom intake and does it give you any extra HP/torque?
